Lansing, Michigan based aquarium livestock wholesaler A & M Aquatics announced their transition to a new form of shipping styro which, when exposed to the elements, can biodegrade in just a couple years.

The impulse to take something from nature and mold, tweak, prune, or modify it to suit our desires or merely our curiosity is something intrinsically human—as is, perhaps, the desire to argue about the results.

Don't agree with Andrea, how do you explain naturally occurring hybrids that appear on an on-going basis all the time. without this occurrence we would not have adaptation to changing elements - environments etc.

Hybrids are the evidence of egoistic manipulation of nature done by humankind.
Mankind wants to bend nature to his will, because someone likes the bright colour or the odd shape of his pet (dog or fish, it is the same). I prefer less people, but aware of the value of every single life, in the aquarium hobby, then a swarm of childish odd fish collectors with a smiling face.
Are we willing to sacrifiice respect for life for more money?

Angelmania is the worst place to buy angelfish online. I mistakingly placed a few orders from Lee several years ago. The angels I received were dead, deformed, stunted and lacking vigor. Some of them had one or no ventral fins. It looked like a bag of culls. As an Amazonas subscriber, I question the validity of any information included in this publication if it endorses Lee from Angelmania! Ask anyone with experience in the angelfish community, and they will tell you to steer clear. I believe Lee stole this idea from a very reputable breeder anyway.

Chase, GVAC was an exceptional group of folks...seriously...like 40 people on hand at a FW club to hear me talk about SW Fish Breeding in AUGUST? I gotta learn a thing or two from you guys on how to energize a club like that! My thanks to you all for having me!
